Speaker 1: us a lot this weekend to talk about. We're gonna

Speaker 1: make some money on this one today, folks, because they're

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,240

Speaker 1: and the cracker Jacks in the chat. I see you,

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: I see what you want to talk about. Welsh a

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: little under the weather today. He's day to day, but

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. He shows up because he's a gamer. Welsh,

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I love about you.

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: I always been a gamer. I'm always gonna be here

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: unless I'm not. But I'm here, it's Opening Day, it's

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: the first week. I'm excited to do it all. Yeah,

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: I did feel a little bit underweather. I think all

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: the excitement and all the craziness of Opening Day brought

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: me down a little bit. Didn't bring down the money,

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: didn't bring down the fantasy theams, and didn't bring down

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: the excitement. It was a pretty dipty good couple days

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: to start off the MLB season.

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, join our group at on leading off over a

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,520

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: hot and MLB, so get on the wagon. This is

34
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: what we did last year too. If you're calling April

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 1: we were red hot. Then we took like a regular

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: major league season, took a little dip in May. You know,

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: things were up and down in June, and then we

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: finished strong as well. But all of my bets are

39

56
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: because that's where we have to start today. Task Hernandez

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: a third home run of the season. Already start out

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: oho for two like in kind of a bad spot

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: in his first twelve at bats and a lot of strikeouts.

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: Then at a home run the other night, and then

61
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: Sunday obviously we know what happened there. So a couple

62
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: home runs for him over the weekend. Dodgers come from

63
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: behind victor of the Cardinals, the Yankees sweeping the Astros,

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: to start the season. This is huge because the Astros

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: have kind of been the daddy of the Yankees, I

66
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: feel like last three or four years, so mentally for

67
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the Yankees without Garrett Cole right now, how important was

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: this series for them to get off on this right foot.

69
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: In Hu This is huge because of two reasons. They

70
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: did it without really great pitching, and they did it

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: pretty much without Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge has not done

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: much to start the year. Juan Soto's been in some

73
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: of the action, and they've done it with whatever this

74
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: rotation is, and they can just kind of battle through it.

75
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm actually going to side a little bit with the

76
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: Yankees are here. I was hoping to go, but we're

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: in Flugate right now or Coldgate right now, so I

78
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: can't get out. But the Yankees are here in Phoenix

79
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: playing the Dinabacks today. I think they might be in

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: a good spot. And I think it's just ready for

81
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: that offense to start picking up being caring. But you've

82
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: seen little pieces. Anthony Volpi has picked it up a

83
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: little bit. Wan Soto's going. We just haven't seen Aaron

84
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: Judge go care.

85
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: How about a swallow Cabrera too. Yeah, I end up

86
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: picking up in the league because, look, I don't think

87
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna stay this hot. Of course he's not, but

88
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: the position flexibility, especially with these injuries continuing to pop

89
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: up here and there, I mean, he's gonna be finding

90
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: his way in the lineup. I think he's a decent

91
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: little bat. I'm not like overspending on him. But this

92
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: will be the week two where he's starting to get

93
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: all the trade videos from us in the waiver war video.

94
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: So if you haven't already subscribed to Fancy Pros MLB,

95
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: that will you get all those The Reds got theirs

96
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: back to back homers from Benton and from ces our

97
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: boy to walk off there. Very exciting that that National

98
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: League Central feels very wide open to Melsh. I love it.

99
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the NL Central is gonna be the

100
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: most entertaining division of baseball this year from that perspective,

101
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: because nobody's great, but they're all good enough where I

102
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: feel like these games and these these moments, especially when

103
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: they start playing each other, are gonna be really fun

104
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: to well.

105
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: It's like the AL East, It's like they're all just

106
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: like really good. In l West, they're all good except

107
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: the Rockies trash, you know, all those teams. This is

108
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: like anybody's go. But the Redsvels have been kind of

109
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: just weird in general too, with the leading off of

110
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan India, which I think has boosted up his value.

111
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: And we've consistently seen Ellie hitting like six, so something

112
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. We're you know, I have

113
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: that futures bet for him to lead the league in

114
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: stolen bases. It's not gonna happen unless we start to

115
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: probably move up the order a little bit more. But yeah,

116
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: division completely open now with.

117
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: The holiday, I didn't see much of this start, but

118
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I saw the line and I saw some of the highlights.

119
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Michael King walked seven batters and four in on Sunday,

120
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: so not the best outing for him. I don't know

121
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: if he was getting squeezed at the plate. I don't

122
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: know what was going on there, or if he was

123
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: just wild. Now the velocity was down a little bit,

124
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: about one to two miles per hour down from where

125
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: it was last year, so I don't know if this

126
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: is a dead arm thing. I don't know if he's

127
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: getting squeezed thing. I don't know if it's just because

128
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched in a while, if he just didn't

129
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: feel like a really good rhythm, because you know when

130
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: they all started out there in that Korean series a

131
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, Like, you're not in a pattern. So

132
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions here, and I don't know

133
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: if any of us really have the answers. I'm choosing.

134
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm not choosing violence. I'm choosing not to patter out here.

135
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm choosing to just be calm about this. Welsh Am

136
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: I making the right choice?

137
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. So I've got a trade video

138
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: coming out probably tomorrow because I'm going to record it today.

139
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good over the weekend, and this is kind

140
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: of the discussion. I actually think it's it's even crazy

141
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: that we're doing trade videos at this point because this

142
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: is like over reaction time. But to that point, these

143
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: are the opportunities where we can take advantage of stuff.

144
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: But there's always those few guys that I think toe

145
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: the line. I'm gonna tell you one of the guys

146
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: that's in the video and you can check it out.

147
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: It's like Zach Gallen. Zach Gallen kind of stunk in

148
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: his first start. We saw the v low pretty big down.

149
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: He wasn't commanding or anything like that. So it's kind

150
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: of a question is he a buyer is he a

151
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: sell because the track record Michael King's a little bit

152
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: different because he was awful. When I saw that he

153
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: walked seven, I was baffled. But from a stuff perspective,

154
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: all his stuff was down. The fastball wasn't doing as

155
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: much as it was last year, especially when he got

156
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: pushed as a starter, and he wasn't hitting the zone.

157
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: That's been like a big thing for a lot of

158
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: these guys when you're seeing these big struggles is early

159
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: commanding of the zone. That was Gallon's issue, and that

160
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: was Michael King's issue. His fastball fifty percent in the zone.

161
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: It had no whists. None of these pitches had any

162
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: whiffs because he wasn't commanding anything and he wasn't fulling

163
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: anybody on the outside twenty three percent outside the zone

164
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: on the fastball, twenty seven on the sweeper and on

165
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: the end. You've got to command, like solid command to

166
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: be able to get any of the stuff to be

167
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: crazy because it's sweeper, sinker, change up. There's two big

168
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: strikeout pitches in there. I say all of this to say.

169
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: I just think it's too early. I think one start

170
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: horrifically bad command stuffed down just a tiny bit. There

171
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: aren't any big, big, huge warning signs. Yes, I've got

172
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: all the shares of him, and that might be and

173
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: the one out I do, and yeah, we all know this,

174
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: but I would go by. I would go by right

175
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: now if someone is absolutely terrified of Michael King.

176
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's good. Brandon fought Welsh has all

177
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: the shares of two six strikeouts for him, one earned

178
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: over five innings, so good start for him. It was

179
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: over the Rockies. But again, you can only beat who

180
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: was in front of you. Jordan Hicks. I've been talking

181
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: about the show, been mentioning him a lot. I picked

182
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: him up in my home league this weekend too. I

183
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: knew what the holiday people would be like, a little

184
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: slow on the uptake sometimes the waivers and things like that,

185
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: especially because we play the extended week from the combination

186
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: of the first week into this week and Jordan Hicks

187
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: six strikeouts this weekend, five innings, zero earned runs the

188
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Fastball Live. There's a question for you, though, realistically, how

189
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: many innings do we get out of Hicks this year?

190
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I think that is the big lingering question. One twenty five.

191
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Does that seem like a number that's feasible for him?

192
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: One thirty I.

193
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: Was gonna say one thirty. Yeah, when he asked me

194
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: the question, one thirty was a thing that came to mind.

195
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: But I also think like he's a little bit different.

196
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: It's actually kind of like Michael King. Like Michael King

197
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: got stretched out last year and we've seen innings. I

198
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: think he can go far. I think he could go

199
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: one fifty, one sixty. I wouldn't be surprised if the

200
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: team pushed Wicks like that. I really wouldn't be surprised

201
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: if they pushed him like that. I just don't know

202
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. So I think one thirty is the

203
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: way to go. But this is the ind A Wicks.

204
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: It's I did say, wis I said, Hicks just new Church.

205
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: I saw New Church. Did that? They screwed me up.

206
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, again, like my beetle juice, Jordan Hicks,

207
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Hicks, Jordan Hicks, Ah, that's what hit it. I

208
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised though, if this goes the opposite way,

209
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: because Hicks is the type of guy that walks a bunch.

210
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: He has massive command issues, and his stuff was live

211
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: and he was hitting the zone. Michael King wasn't. Their

212
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: stuff is a little bit different. Michael King isn't a

213
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: walk guy. So I think this could endverse. So I

214
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: don't truyt. I'm getting to this to say, I don't

215
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: I know you're a big Jordan Hicks guy. I don't

216
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: trust Hicks to be consistent throughout the year.

217
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: I am a I'm not a big Jordan Hickson. I'm

218
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: a guy who's noticing that Hicks looks like he is

219
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: ready to convert into a starter. But if you're in

220
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: redraft leagues and you've picked him up, or he's still

221
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, which he is and still a

222
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, I would be adding him, want him

223
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: to have a great April, and then be looking to

224
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: package him with something else because I know it's just

225
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: not he can't be long for the second half of

226
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: the season, like it's just not happening. And look, I

227

244
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: we like that a little fun. So on on Friday

245
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, Rehyese Hoskins had a slide and got

246
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: into it with Jeff McNeil. And I can tell you

247
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: from the perspective of somebody who you know, I played

248
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: the game at a pretty decently high level. I gotta

249
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: say like I was pretty decent as a baseball player.

250
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna do lip reading? Is that what we're gonna do.

251
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do lip reading, but we're gonna do this.

252
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Even as a Met fan, I watched that and my

253
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: immediate instinct was, suck it up, McNeil, What are you doing?

254
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: That is a hard slide. It wasn't a dirty slide.

255
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: It was an aggressive slide. Did he overslide? Yeah? Should

256
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: McNeil have been taking that throw behind the base the

257
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: way he did? No, You should be trying your best

258
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're jumping over the guy or

259
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: anticipating it. Everybody is so lackadaisical because they are not

260
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: used to hard nos baseball. Then when somebody plays hard

261
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: nos baseball and I don't care if he's a jerk.

262
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Maybe Ree Hoskins is a jerk. I don't know. We

263
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: don't hang out, we don't text. All I know is

264
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: we're in a sport now where people wear mittens to

265
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: run the bases. And if somebody wants to slide in hard,

266
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: guess what let him slide in hard? He has no

267
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: idea if he's trying to turn two or not. His

268
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: idea is to slide hard be an aggressive baseball player.

269
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Day one or Day one

270
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: sixty two, I don't care. Wells your thoughts about this controversy.

271
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: And then Reez Hoskins giving him the cry thing was hilarious, like,

272
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I actually I'm team Hoskins here on this one. Sorry.

273
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't like old school baseball stuff, so that anytime,

274
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: like if you know the whole like oh this guy

275
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: does this, or be bad flips and we've got to

276
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: hit him, or I watch this video this week and

277
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: it was talking about how in a big scoring game

278
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: a long time with Yasiel Puig with the Dodgers was

279
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: like in a steal a base And then maddingly was

280
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: apologizing and chase up he said, you know that video, Yeah,

281
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: you said me that that's why, yes, why that video

282
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: you sent me that video where it was like, uh,

283
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: Tray Sutley was like, hit me because that's the only

284
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: way he's going to learn. I hate that stuff.

285
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Then I didn't hit him, and he got back.

286
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he called him some words. I think those are

287
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: the things that are so far beyond baseball right now.

288
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: So this is a little bit. All I'm saying is

289
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: that that's the policing. I hate the policing of baseball. If

290
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: McNeil wants to get mad, he can kind of get mad.

291
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: But I also think, like, let Hoskins do the cry

292
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: baby stuff. Let there be yea, let there be emotion,

293
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: emotions on opening the.

294
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Next day, throwing at him and the manager gets, you know,

295
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: uh uh suspended for a day. I wasn't fired. That

296
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: will happen eventually too. But it's just like it's just

297
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: crazy to me, Like there was nothing about that. To me,

298
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: it was controversial. He came in hard. McNeil was in

299
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: the wrong spot.

300
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: He went outside the lane a little bit.

301
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go watch somebody go watch how McCray slide

302
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: in the eighties for the Kansas City roy.

303
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: How a craze.

304
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: That's why you go back to you what you found

305
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: a YouTube video of hel mccrage sliding. These guys used

306
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: to forget sliding near the base, like they used to

307
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: just go like full like role into people.

308
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: You're just making up old Waxy McGee. Waxy McGee usually.

309
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: Played for the Royals, and he was a manager of

310
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: the Royals. Just because I'm old doesn't mean that baseball

311
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: didn't exist. Before anyway. Where wo Jeff McNeil Wow. Also

312
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: in the news, speaking of suspensions, Genesis Cabrera shoved one

313
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: of the favorites of the show here, Genesis.

314
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: Fellas coming to the stage. Genesis Cabrera besome Sugar, O, man,

315
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: when you need him a love there you go.

316
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: There you got everybody. I love Beef curtains nose, Beef knows,

317
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: I remember how McCrae, Thank you, thank you. Somebody's out there.

318
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not saying dirty. I'm not saying

319
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: people have to hurt each other. But a good agree

320
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: use of baseball is good. It's good for everybody. Suck

321
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: it up. Let's talk about the rookie. Lookie, a lot

322
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: of rookie stuff going on. Paul Skeans, Oh baby, he

323
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: looks good. Jared Jones, by the way, also looked incredibly

324
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: sharp to you. I know that's one of the darlings here.

325
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Early on, so Jones tremendous art. If he's still available

326
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: in your league, please go run to the waiver wire

327
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: pick him up immediately. Skemes. I don't know, man, If

328
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: he keeps throwing darts like this, I don't think it's

329
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna take very long for him to be up with

330
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: the Pirates, escially if they continue to win games.

331
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: I mean, that's actually a really interesting point to that,

332
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: Like I have not known what to do with Paul Skins.

333
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: Here's what I do know. You should just roster him,

334
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: and you should bite it through April if you can,

335
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: because if he comes up, he's gonna dominate. But I

336
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: haven't known. I don't really know what the pirates to do.

337
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: But who would you rather have right now? Take out

338
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: your need Paul Skins or Jackson Holliday. Who do you

339
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: think is up first?

340
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Oh Man Holiday? Because I think they're going to just

341
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: be a little bit kid gloves with skeens. I do

342
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I just because he's a pitcher and pictures get baby.

343
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: But you know what's amazing?

344
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Do you agree or disagree with that? No?

345
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: The holiday stuff is embarrassingly funny where they're like your

346
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: newsical book and learn second base and hit lefties and

347
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: his first hit was a home run off of a

348
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: lefty in the miners And all he has done is

349
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: continued what just smacking balls around. He needs to be up.

350
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean.

351
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: The only problem is is, like this team does look

352
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: pretty locked in, except when I saw the like opening

353
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: day lineup and his Joorgemateao and ramon Arius in the

354
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: starting lineup. I think it's stupid. Yeah, Holiday, I think

355
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: is up in the next week or two. That's why

356
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: he's at the tippy top of my prospects. To stash

357
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: the Prospect Report article that I got out there and Paul's.

358
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Check that's on facebros dot com. Yah took that out

359
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: by the way, probably.

360
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: Not far behind. But I don't know. The Pirates could

361
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: like they could literally do anything.

362
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Look, I would say this, I think the Pirates wait

363
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: and see if they end up let's say five games

364
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: over five hundred or six games over five hundred or

365
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: more after April. I think e'l sie schemes in May, like,

366
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I think they're looking at it. But I'm telling you

367
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: the Central is wide open for business and the I

368
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: got off to a good start last year. We'll get

369
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Richie Silva. Richie said, just watch how McCray and he

370
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: should have been a linebacker. That was absolutely ridiculous. He

371
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: knows what I'm talking about. He went to found the

372
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: YouTube video. He knows where it is. Angelo says, I

373
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: grabbed Jared Jones everywhere. Angelo, I don't think you should

374
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: do that. I think you're gonna go to HR.

375
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: He do that, so I have was a little annoying because,

376
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: as Bogman was telling me before we did our Shares episode,

377
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: He's like, you have Jared Jones everywhere, and that's gonna

378
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: make you look really smart. I'm like, yeah, I do.

379
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: He was amazing in that first start. But I'm gonna

380
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: tell you he might show up in the trade video

381
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: twenty two Swinging wis two pitch Pitcher twenty I know

382
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: he throws whatever a little bit else, but like, I

383
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: don't know, this might be a huge capitalization. This is

384
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: coming from someone that was a big Jared Jones guy

385
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: and loves Jared Jones. I would keep him. I'm hoping

386
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: the best, but I am seeing some discourse around Jared

387
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Jones after one start that he's top, that he's top

388
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: twenty five sp After that, maybe he's an ex spencer strider.

389
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: I love the guy, it's amazing, but two pitch with

390
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: hits ra rookie, I don't. I don't know that's why

391
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: you might be able to get a haul if he's

392
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: sitting out there, but if he is available, you should

393
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: pick him up and kind of ride that.

394
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: Here's what I always tell everybody, look at the schedule.

395
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: If the schedule is favorable for the next few starts

396
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: coming up for them, do not trade them now. Let

397
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: them build value. If it's if it's an unfavorable schedule,

398
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: then maybe you change your tune about these things. Always

399
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: look ahead. Max Meyer debut today. We're very excited about this.

400
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Louis eel Uh start today for the Yankees too. So

401
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: two big starts, which one are both are have your

402
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: attention today. The Meyer one for me is what I'm

403
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: really paying Well.

404
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: I saw our buddy Craig.

405
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: I have shares.

406
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Craig mission said, the Marlins have like never

407
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: started five and oh and they're going up against the

408
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: Angels today and Meyer is the pitcher, and they got

409
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: Chase Sill set and they never started oh and five

410
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: oh and five yeah, I said, five and oh me

411
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: and John Wick Hicks Wicks right, I'm back, yeah, all

412
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: that stuff. So, I like, I'm into seeing what Meyer does,

413
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Luis seel against the Diamondbacks. I

414
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: think it's a good opportunity. I personally think he's going

415
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: to pick up the win here. Dime back has been

416
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: really tough to strike out. But there's a pretty good

417
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: opportunity for both these guys. These are both I think

418
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: potential prime streaming pictures moving forward. I don't know if

419
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: both are going to be holds, but find the right

420
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: matchup and I think you can be streaming both of

421
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: these guys. But maybe Meyer's gonna completely shock us and

422
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: show that. I mean, Nolan Gorman told me years ago

423
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: before he made the Majors hesitation. Yeah, I asked him,

424
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: who's the toughest picture you've ever faced or you faced

425
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: this year? And without hesitation, he went, Max Meyer. I mean,

426
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: and some of these guys don't know who anybody is.

427
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: By the way, or he got hurt, people forget this

428
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: was what two years ago now, before he got hurt,

429
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: he was just on the precipice of being called up.

430
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: Remember we were doing this show two years ago and

431
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: we were saying, hey, pick this guy up before start

432
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: spend the fab now, don't wait, don't you know, do

433
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: it ahead of time, be proactive. And then it was

434
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: like kind of imminent. I want to see he was

435
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: like a week or two away. They already the buzz

436
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: was there. Basically, they were lining him up to take

437
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: that rotation spot and the injury happened.

438
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and see where they let him go. Whips just

439
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: made me laugh. And everyone's tough for Gorman. Now, boo whips,

440
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: you're being mean, but that's not completely untrue. I just

441
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: don't know how far he's gonna go, and that's my problem.

442
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: It's like he's still coming off this injury. They may

443
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: want to baby him. They got pictures dropping left and right.

444
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: They also need as many arms as they can, so

445
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: I would assume he's not gonna go a lot past seventy.

446
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: So this is a cool opportunity. It's gonna be more

447
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: about me watching that. It is me like streaming him

448
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: today or this weekend.

449
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: Everyone is tough for Gorman. But Gorman's a connoisseur of

450
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: swinging miss so he really knows the guys that make

451
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: him swing and miss hard. I feel like he's actually can.

452
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: You imagine someone that's swinging misses that much and then

453
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: be able to distinguish the player that makes them.

454
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: He's like, well, let me tell you, you know, it's

455
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: like the most interesting man in the world. Like, you know,

456
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't drink this often.

457
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: When I do, I strike out often. But when I

458
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: really do do.

459
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: It's Max Meyer Sabos goggles. Another one too. Watch Albert Bell.

460
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: Now look Albert Bell running through second basement. Him giving

461
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: four arms shivers to Fernando Vigna is not good baby.

462
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: I watched a video on that. Did you send me

463
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: that too? I watched the video about him.

464
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: He was talking he sent you the one of the

465
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: hitting drills in twenty twenty four. Funny the guy had

466
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: the ladder over his head in the back. My favorite

467
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: one is when he's standing on one leg on the

468
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: chair with the tee and then he picks up the

469
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: basketball on the tee and you think he's hit the basketball,

470
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: and then he throws the bat behind him, jumps down,

471
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: grabs the chair and it smacks the basket.

472
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: That was actually my favorite too, but I literally just watch.

473
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: It's so weird that you're saying this about Vienna, because

474
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: I think it was Chris Rose interviewing Albertelle. They were

475
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: talking about that exact situation. Watch it last night and

476
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: it's fascinating. I mean, Albertella is just like a crazy,

477
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: crazy person in baseball, and it was so interesting to

478
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: see him smile Now too, when you're when you're away

479
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: from the game and you can like not take it

480
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: as serious. But yeah, that's a scary person, not old

481
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: honro Magee and whatever else you had.

482
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: Why is everyone McGee for you?

483
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. I trying to think of a different name,

484
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 2: but it didn't have.

485
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Joey Bart dfa too last teok, he

486
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: real quick. So Joey Bart. Once upon a time, not

487
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: that long ago, like two or three years ago, was

488
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: this you know, can't miss? He was what the second

489
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: overall pick in twenty eighteen, I think, right, I mean,

490
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: does he catch on somewhere else? I assume he does,

491
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: but he just never just came to fruition here for

492
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: the Giants. So interesting move by them. I didn't really

493
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: see that coming, but I guess we all should have

494
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: seen a cover.

495
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: He'll get an opportunity. I just don't know it's gonna

496
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: matter or anything like that. The warning sign was, I

497
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: think two years after drafting him, they spent a first

498
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: round pick on Patrick Bailey, who was just clearly better defensively.

499
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: The idea was that, you know, maybe Bart's the second catcher.

500
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: He plays some first base whatever DH and his bat

501
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: just never came alive either, So he just became a

502
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: liability on all sides. He'll probably be playing in like

503
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: the KBO in two or three years, but he'll get

504
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: an opportunity.

505
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: Oh, Chuck Nola, Joey Bart, the Sleeper who Never Woke Up.

506
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: That's a good I love that children's story. It's one

507
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: of my favorites. All right, let's get to three up

508
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: and three down. Let's talk about the Royals. First, Bobby

509
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Wit three for five with a triple and a Dinger's

510
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: first of the year. Uh, I know, uh. Brady Singer

511
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: in that same game two seven innings, got the w

512
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: no earned ten k's so huge game for Brady Singer,

513
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: also sitting on a lot of waiver wires. Uh one.

514
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: Soto three for five with an RBI got off to

515
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: a red hot start to the year, nine for seventeen

516
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: over this series with the Astros with a homer for RBI,

517
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: which is great because it takes pressure off of Aaron

518
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: Judge I gave. It wasn't Judge or Cole. There wasn't

519
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: a Yankee win. And now look you have Sodo. Now

520
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: the problem is in the rotation. Somebody else will step up.

521
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: We'll see Chris Sale five and a third seven k's,

522
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: two earned, two walks, five hits, A good start to

523
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: the season for him. No decision, but still very good.

524
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: The down Bailey Ober with a lost one to one

525
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: third innings here, nine hits, eight earned. This was not

526
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: what we signed up for, Welsh. What happened to Bailey Ober?

527
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: Bailey Oper looked so bad?

528
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Oh face he oh looked, Oh my god?

529
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: Why did we draft? He looked so bad? But it

530
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: was reminiscent. This is like the the thing I'm trying

531
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: to get out of my head a little bit. Though

532
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: obviously I want to like pimp point who's doing this

533
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: and that? But like, the thing that stood out about

534
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: the guys that got smashed around was just command. And

535
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: that is something that Ober does really well. He commands pitches.

536
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: He did not he had bad stuff. It was he

537
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: was fooling nobody. It was reminiscent Gallon.

538
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: Was I'm gonna give you a possibility here too. When

539
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: you see a guy who you're high on that you

540
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: think is gonna good and then they come out there

541
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: and have a start like this, sometimes it's physical. The

542
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: other thing it can be is tipping pitches. And the

543
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: first thing I would be doing is going back and

544
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: watching the tape and saying, are they picking up something

545
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: you're doing Because if they're picking it up, then the

546
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: next team's gonna pick it up to and everybody after

547
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: that's gonna pick it up. So sometimes guys do that

548
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: the way they hold their glove a certain way, the

549
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: way they arch their arm a certain way when they're

550
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: throwing certain pitches. If you're tipping your pitches and you

551
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: know what's coming, it makes a lot easier. And Ober

552
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: was pretty good in the spring, so this is a

553
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: new one for me. So well, you know, let's just

554
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: keep that in mind.

555
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, one of the things that I'm not

556
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: saying it is, but you know, this is a six

557
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: foot nine guy. You know, a six foot nine like that,

558
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: there might be some of that of what you're saying.

559
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: A much bigger, your bodied guy also is not super

560
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: deceptive like rotationally, so you know that maybe there is

561
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: some tipping in it. But also just it wasn't good

562
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: stuff like you leave. If you just leave everything over

563
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: the plate, even the royals are gonna bang it around.

564
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: So and that's what happened.

565
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: Angelo back again, I grabbed fott at the last minute,

566
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: ended up winning my league. By a point. Folly In

567
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: Ginkle helped too, So you went full Ginkle last week.

568
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: But again Angelo, Yeah, and stop grabbing everything hands z.

569
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Hansy also down. Kyle finagain blowing the same giving up

570
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: those back to back homers to the Cincy Boys and

571
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: Nolan Gorman over five four K's golden sombrero. We salute you.

572
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Injuries Welsh always a ton, my god. Just to recap

573
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: where we left off Friday, Justin Steele al till May.

574
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis out at least a month, possibly more with

575
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: a quad injury. Speaking of quad injuries, Junior Camenaro did

576
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: his best Royce Lewis imitation, hits a home run and

577
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: then hurts his quad. I saw the video on X.

578
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure Welsh saw two. I'm not looking excited about this.

579
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna be gone for at least as long as

580
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis.

581
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: Would you These quad injuries are so brutal. I guess

582
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: maybe there's something in planted in my brain where I'm

583
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: like a little hammy, little quad. We'll get through that. No,

584
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: and it's just like pulling up on a quad. Yeah,

585
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: we are seeing. It was a severe one for Royce Lewis.

586
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: I haven't heard what the severity is, but if you

587
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: watch the video that Kevin Arow was just lame, like

588
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 2: about halfway through coming up to first base, those are weeks.

589
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: And here's what's brutal about that. I got him stashed

590
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: in some spots because I thought this.

591
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: Was gonna be all people ask about that. Yeah, I'm

592
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: still stashing him. I don't care like I'm still doing.

593
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: Okay, if you're in a shorter league with shorter benches,

594
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: I don't that's different.

595
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Ten team you probably can't.

596
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: That's even twelve team low benches, like low bench three

597
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 2: outfield leagues where there's a lot of players available. I

598
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: just don't really think you can afford to eat that

599
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: for a full month. Deeper leagues, if you can suffer

600
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: through it. Sure, I've got him in TGFBI. I'm not

601
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: gonna let him go because when he comes up, he's

602
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy that goes for you know, thirty

603
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: forty percent of FAB I'm in a hold as long

604
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: as I can, but I think there's a lot of

605
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 2: instances where you might have to move on because this

606
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: could be a month, this could be five weeks. Then

607
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: he's got to come back, and he's got to get right.

608
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: We could be six to eight weeks before the team

609
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: can really justify him up. I'm being dramatic about it,

610
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: but the possibilities out there, so you got to figure

611
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: out if you can stomach that. But we are in

612
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: dropable range.

613
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen could be available off and on now with

614
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: his back issue. He was my number one fade closer.

615
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: I wrote about it on Fantasy Pros and so far,

616
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: the age, the decline in some of the numbers last year,

617
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: everything starting to look right. Tyler McGill ty loll a

618
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: terrible reported soreness in his shoulder on Sunday after the start.

619
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: He's going for an MRI. It's Jose Buddo time. I

620
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: told you, I told you Welsh it wouldn't take long

621
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: for the booty Man to make his debut again in

622
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

623
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: Buddha.

624
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: Not that it can help the Mets, who are winless

625
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: so far to start the year. Llo Jamnez, speaking of

626
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: no wins, left abductor soreness on Sunday, he left the

627
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: game because of it. Classic has heard already. We're a

628
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: couple of days into the season and John means give

629
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: up seven runs in one inning, uh on Sunday in

630
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: a rehabs start against Triple A. So hopefully better times

631
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: ahead for him. So there you go. Those are the

632
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: injuries for the day. And of course, everybody, you know

Speaker 1: on that. You want to try it again, Let's try

636
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: it again together. It's that time, boys and girls.

637
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: It's time for the best bets the day. Why is

638
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: your of the Why is that delayed? Don't be so delayed, Joe?

639
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: All right, just do it fast. We'll do it fast.

640
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: All right, we go ready, one, two, three, It's that time,

641
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: boys and girls.

642
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: Four the best best bets of the day.

643
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: That was definitely worse. That was definitely worse. All right,

644
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: let's just get to the best bets of the day. Here,

645
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: we'll work on it, everybody. We're here on Fantasy pros

Speaker 1: the place to go, and of course you can follow

651
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: us on betting pros. I am very excited about today.

652
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Last seven days, I'm at sixty four point seven percent.

653
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: Let's go started hot. I want to keep this going.

654
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves today love this. I want to do the

655
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: alternate run line. They are playing the Chicago White Sox

656
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: today and alloy probably not in this lineup. I haven't

657
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: looked yet, but just guessing. Shocker. So here you go.

658
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Braves go up to from the minus one and a

659
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: half to minus two and a half. You get it

660
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: plus money plus one fourteen. It's my favorite bet of

661
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: the day. Only one even close to that, right there.

662
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Chotto Imanaga over five and a half strikeouts today against

663
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the Rockies. Now you pay a lot of juice at

664
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: minus one thirty. I'm willing to push this one up

665
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: to get better juice at six and a half. I'll

666
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: go the over there too. I think you can get

667
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: to seven today easily. I should have listened to myself

668
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: last week. You know, I went Spencer Strider eight and

669
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: a half over, and of course he got eight. I

670
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: should always always go under on the eight every time,

671
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I can't believe I did that last week,

672
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: the only one I missed all weekend, but I'm not

673
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: bitter the other one too. Matt Olsen today in that

674
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: same game with the Braves against Chris Flexen is a

675
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: perfect spot. You got the big lefty bet, you got

676
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: the right handed pitcher who gives up home runs. Matt

677
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: Olsen total bases plus one twenty five on the over

678
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: one and a half, and also I think get plus

679
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: two to fifty plus two sixty for the home run.

680
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: Call more on that later if he goes yard. But

681
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: I love matt Olsen today. If you put the Braves

682
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: alternate line at minus two and a half with Imanaga

683
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: five and a half k's and the Dodgers on the

684
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: money line at minus two forty, you get an easy

685
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: parlay of plus four seventy on betting pros. And make

686
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: sure when you place those bets you do it with

687
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: bet three six five and use that promo code leading

688

Speaker 1: off bet five bucks get one hundred and fifty dollars

689
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: in bonus bets. Welsh, what do you like today on

690
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the betting board?

691
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: All right, I'm kind of with you on some of these.

692
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: I like the Chicago Cubs. I'm going to talk about

693
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: Imanaga here in a second, but then they're going up

694
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: against the Colorado Rockies. The Colorado Rockies gave up two

695
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: runs in the first inning of every single game against

696
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks through the first three innings. I didn't even

697
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: want to tell you what they gave up because I

698
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: gave up fourteen in one of those, so it's a

699
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: gajillion run. So on average, they are just getting demolished.

700
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: I think not only is Evenaga gonna come in and

701
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 2: do his business, but I also think the Cubs are

702
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: gonna do their business against Dakota Hudson because they've been

703
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: giving up runs like crazy. So with that, I like

704
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs team total runs two and a half

705
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: in the first five innings. Over the first five innings,

706
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 2: the Cubs to score three runs, that's plus money. I

707
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: like Imanaga's strikeout total, like you said, over five and

708
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: a half. If I wanted to get cheeky seven. If

709
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: you want to play the Alts, it's like plus one seventy,

710
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: so you can get some good plus money. But I

711
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: don't like to get two cheeky sometimes, so I'll just

712
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: go the over five and a half and then I'm

713
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: going to the new York Yankees team total runs for

714
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: the first five at two and a half. Right, Nelson

715
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: was awesome this spring. I don't think that's going to

716
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: continue in today. I think the Yankees offense is gonna

717
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: come in. They're gonna bang the Diamondbacks around a little

718
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: bit early. I'm not in love. Right Nelson might be

719
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: half decent, but I think Wan Soto's got a really

720
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: good track record. I think Aaron Judge gets going. So

721
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: I am betting on over three runs through the first

722
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: five innings against Ryan Nelson with the New York Yankees,

723
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna take that one, and that one's got

724
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of juice on it at one thirty.

725
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: So Cubs team total runs, Yankees team total runs, and

726
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: Imanaga for some CA's. I am also with you. I'm

727
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: trying to add over fifteen almost sixteen units up over

728
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: the weekend, so fingers crossed we can continue it into

729
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: week two.

730
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: And follow us by the way on the Betting pros

Speaker 1: family watch us instead. But those are the bets of

741
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: the day for Welsh and myself on Monday, April Fool's

742
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: Day twenty twenty four, let's get to home run calls

743
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080

Speaker 1: you can join the fun at this court fantasypros dot

745
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Com slash chat. I have not gotten on the board yet.

746
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten a board yet. It's the holiday, so

747
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: ethan is I believe? Oh the board is there working

748
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: behind a little bit. Oh wait, I do have a board,

749
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: but I will go ahead and I will bring up

750
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the board. I do see it here now, he did

751
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: send it to me right before the show, So I'll

752
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: pull up the leaderboard. Welsh, why don't take everybody through

753
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: your home run call? Since I kind of teased mine

754
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: already and I think everybody knows where I'm going today.

755
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: I like yours. I actually think there's some decent home

756
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: run calls today. Had I stuck with this player, I

757
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: would be at two because they had one over the weekend.

758
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: I pivoted one cool thing you can do even over

759
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: the weekends while we're not here, if you're in the discord,

760
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: you can go in to the home run call room.

761
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: You can call your home run call every single day.

762
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: I did that this weekend. Had I just sat on

763
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: my Laurels, I would be in the two marker of

764
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: someone who has three. But I'm gonna go back to it.

765
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: One Soto, I think the Yankees are gonna score some runs.

766
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: One Soto's got a pretty good track record from a

767
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: BVP standpoint against Ryan Nelson. He's got a couple of

768
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: career homers. He's used to the West Coast from being

769
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: with the and Andres that they could be comfortable coming

770
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: over here. I think he's gonna hit up Ryan Nelson

771
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: a little bit, and I like the homer for one.

772
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: So two. Yeah, man, what a star from Mookie Betts

773
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: to the year too. Here's the home run leader board?

774
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Cirsiz Up with three, Octane with three, Hey

775
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Mayo with three as well. Everybody else at two I'm

776
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: still at zero, so that's a little frustrating for me. Welsh,

777
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't see you on the board. Number I'm one monkey, Oh,

778
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: I see you fifteen. Yeah you're fifteen. Well that's I

779
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: just have one. There you go.

780
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: We we just we just trailed Mookie Betts the whole week,

781
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: and that would be number one. Mooki Betts is the

782
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: top of our leader.

783
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: I thought Otani would give me one, no nothing, So

784
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: you're dead to me, O Tommy, at least for today,

785
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Matt Olson today, folks, I think I can get at

786
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: least two today for Matt. But again I keep saying,

787
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: bet the total bases with him today, at the very least.

788
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: That's your easiest bet. If you want to get a

789
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: little funky, you can go ahead and bet the anytime

790
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: home run too, because you're gonna get plus two to

791
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: sixty on that one, which tells you that's a pretty

792
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: low number for a home run. Like that's pretty much

793
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: like like even they're kind of like just backing themselves

794
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: a little bit up there in Vegas on metals. And

795
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: so that's the one today. Again. If you want to

00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,640

820
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Everybody is super excited. Almost four hundred people again watching

821
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Live Beautiful. We love you. We're happy to see you

822
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: on a Monday after the holiday, no less. Uh so

823
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: we are set for a full week of baseball. Welsh,

824
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: I'm watching that. Max Meyers start with intent today. I'm

825
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: very excited about that. What has your eye today the

826
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: most in Major League Baseball? Before we call today?

827
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: Oh, the most? I mean I'm going to be paying

828
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: attention to Chris Flexen getting beat up. Yeah, really probably

829
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: it's in a little bit. Yeah, Max Mayor is going

830
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: to be the one. But also like how Luis Hell looks,

831
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: that is the guy that has been kind of floating.

832
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: Is one of those fives that really could take the

833
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: next big step. The Yankees Diamondbacks game has the potential

834
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: to be an absolute explosion offensive fest. So maybe a

835
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: lot of runs out of that game. So I'm gonna

836
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: be probably locked into that, no surprise.

837
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: Leaving on this note, Lee, I didn't watch Live Friday

838
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: because I was at the Mets game. I should have

839
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: stayed home. You're one hundred percent rightly. You're one hundred

840
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: percent right. We are way more entertaining than any Mets

841
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: game nowadays. For sure, that'll do it for us, but

842
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: the story of the game goes on for the Welsh.

843
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm Joey P. We'll see you tomorrow. Kids, Enjoy your baseball.
